You don't need to fdisk /mbr.  The problem is that since you installed 
Win2K on a second partition and not on the first, it flips out.  You 
need to add 2 map lines to GRUB's config file that 'tricks' Win2k into 
thinking that it is installed on the first partition.

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

I've done/seen this twice and fixed it twice.  I hope that it solves 
your problem.

Googleing for "GRUB map partitions" turns up a lot of good info.
